War became the highest-grossing Hindi film ever in India,  dethroning YRF's _Thugs of Hindostan_ . It is now the highest-opening film for both Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff, and the highest-earning film on a national holiday. The numbers collected were most probably contributed by the extended weekend that the film witnessed.   War follows Kabir (Hrithik), an intelligence agent gone rogue and his protege Khalid (Tiger). Officials decide there are no other ways to tackle the problem of Kabir turning rogue but to kill him, and employ Khalid for the task. Both actors perform daredevil action stunts during the cat-and-mouse chase. It is directed by Siddharth Anand, known for Bang Bang! (2014), Anjaana Anjaani (2010), Bachna Ae Haseeno (2008), and Salaam Namaste (2005). Anand revealed he has plans to expand the film into an action thriller franchise. “It’s too early to talk about it, but I definitely had an idea to convert this into a franchise. We were waiting for the audience reaction to the film. Now, I feel that it’s an audience demand more than our desire. We will soon sit together to decide our future course of action,” Siddharth recently told  Indo-Asian News Service.
